FASTOLFF RASPBERRY. 



PATRONISED BY HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY THE 

 QUEEN, HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF RUTLAND, THE 

 MOST NOBLE THE MARQUIS OF AILSA, THE EARL OF 

 HARRINGTON, THE EARL OF LIVERPOOL, THE LORD 

 BISHOP OF LONDON, LORD VISCOUNT LORTON, LORD 

 SONDES, &c. &c. ; as well as by the HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY OF LONDON. 



YOUELL and Co. have much pleasure in announcing 

 they are now supplying fine Canes of the above highly 

 valuable and much esteemed RASPBERRY, unequalled for the 

 extraordinary size of its fruit and richness of flavour. 



Those to whom Y. and Co. sent it last season have expressed 

 their high admiration of its superiority over aU other varieties, 

 and has been awarded several prizes at various Horticultural 

 exhibitions during the season. As a proof they have not exagge- 

 rated its excellent qualities, fruit was submitted to Dr. Lindlby 

 (see Gardeners' Chronicle of the 22d July last, page 502), whose 

 opinion of it is as follows : — 



" Fastolff Raspberry. — We have received from Messrs. 

 Youell, of Great Yarmouth, fruit of the Fastolff Raspberry, and 

 we find it merits all that has been stated in favour of its excel- 

 lence. The fruit that we have received is very large, obtusely 

 conical, and of rich flavour, far exceeding in this respect some 

 other new and large varieties. The plants bear abundantly and 

 in long succession.*' 



They also exhibited it on the 1st of August, 1843, before the 

 London Horticultural Society, 21, Regent- street, to which a 

 prize was awarded. It would therefore be unnecessary for 

 Youell and Co. to recommend it more fully, or with greater con- 

 fidence, to the notice of the public, merely observing, that it 

 continues in high perfection throughout the autumnal moliths, 

 and has maintained its superiority in the most unfavourable 

 soils and situations, and requires no other than the ordinary 

 treatment of the old varieties. 



Fine Canes are ready for delivery, and can be sent with safety 

 lo any part of the United Kingdom (on the receipt of a Post- 

 office order), upon the following terms: — 



Packages containing 100 Canes . £1 5*. Od. 

 Do. do. 50 do. . 15 



Do. do. 25 do. . 14 



Package included. 

 The usual discount to the Trade, wheu not less than 200 are 



ordered. 



*** Caution. — Y. and Co. beg to call the attention of their 

 Friends and the Public in general to the fact that they have ap- 

 pointed no Agents in London for the sale of the above, and can- 

 not be held responsible for its being genuine, unless purchased 

 direct from their Nursery.
